Thanks! You are welcome, the sabertooth esc is so smooth.

Thanks Joe!

I charged a 7.2v (6 cell nimh) 1500mah losi mini-t battery and ran it for over an hour today to see how much power it uses and it was still going strong. So, I don't really know how long one charge will last but I would say it is efficient.

Awesome build. Can't wait.....

Scott, that's really nice. I believe I would like one of those! Just something else on the list now.

Well done...I admire you guys that can make models that small work... Any thing smaller than about 1/8 scale is too small for me...

Thank you very much. I really enjoy the engineering challenge of getting strength & power out of these little machines.

I improved the bucket curl mounts. The mounts on the prototype loader work fine but, they don't like nice.

This design has more rigidity and protects the servos from getting hit:





With the servo screw heads milled down it allows the two servos (sitting back to back) to fit nicely in the lift assembly and creates a rigid assembly.





I also made beefier aluminum drive hubs. I'll post up pics later when I get the 4-40 screws that I ordered for them.

Forgot the side view.

i want to build one to
